College Students Join Noble Foundation for Summer

Article excerpt

ARDMORE - A group of college students is at the Noble Foundation
in Ardmore this summer for the Lloyd Noble Scholars in Agriculture
and the Noble Summer Research Scholars in Plant Science programs.

Students in the program work with Noble Foundation staff members.

The Lloyd Noble Scholars program offers students the opportunity
to work alongside agricultural professionals in six core areas:
animal science and livestock management, agricultural economics,
horticulture, range and pasture management, soils and crops, and
wildlife and fisheries.

Noble Summer Research Scholars conduct plant science research
with mentor scientists in the laboratories and greenhouse facilities
of the Noble Foundation.

"These scholar programs offer a tremendous learning experience,"
said Bill Buckner, president and CEO of the Noble Foundation. "The
students are given the rare opportunity to work in a real-world
setting; learn from some of the best minds in their selected fields;
and make contributions that can actually impact the scientific
community, agricultural producers and even consumers."
